Default Will a hardtop fit in a Ford Expedition?

As the title says, does anyone know if a hardtop will fit in the back of a '98 Expedition?

I don't think so. I believe the interior width of the Expedition in the cargo area is around 48-50" (or so) and the interior shoulder room in the S is 51" and the hardtop is wider than that. Height and length shouldn't be an issue if the second row seats fold flat, but I think the width is the problem.

Strap it to the roof.
The box is not that heavy, nothing 2 or 3 people can't manage.

Or do what I did- install it yourself in the parking lot (at the dealership for me) only took a half hour.

I don't think so. It barely fit in an '09 Odyssey with all the seats in the back taken out.

Yes it will fit by itself. I bought a used hardtop last year and picked it up in my '97 Expedition. I doubt it would fit if it's in a box.
